Abstract:
The concept of foetal viability has evolved significantly and has been influenced by advancements in neonatal care and legal frameworks. This review explores the complexities of defining foetal viability in India's contemporary medical landscape, particularly in light of the recent extension of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act to 24 weeks. The article examines the confusion surrounding the classification of extreme preterm births, Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act, and prenatal documentation during sonography. It addresses the challenges in distinguishing between preterm birth and abortion and proposes solutions to standardize definitions and practices.
